A golf rangefinder has also become more affordable so the average golfer can now spend a little less on golf clubs and add a rangefinder to the golf bag instead.

However, a laser rangefinder has its demerits. You should have a steady hand as the laser should be accurately aimed at the target although it cane easily be overcome with practice. Also, what you cannot see, you cannot measure so much so that hills are the Achilles’ heel of the laser rangefinder. Plus, you have to deal with limited features that are standard on the GPS models.

The distances at which rangefinders can effectively calculate distances can vary from 100 meters to up to 25 kilometers, and quite possibly much further if the investment warrants it. Generally the super long distance rangefinders are built for military purposes and used by snipers and artillery units.

Consider the Features
While considering the purchase cost of the golf rangefinder, you also have to take into account the after-sales costs. These are costs necessary to keep the rangefinder in useful condition including the easy availability of maps about the golf courses in your area. Your considerations will include the features in each type of rangefinder. As you probably know by now, there are two basic types - lasers and global positioning system (GPS).

Golf rangefinders are the rage amongst both amateur and professional players, which is a far cry from the days when it was first introduced. Then, its use was limited to a few professionals and amateurs with money to spare. But as with all things in golf and in life, rangefinders eventually became an essential part of a golfer’s arsenal to shoot the ball into the hole.

The maximum distance rangefinders will work will be dependent on the intended object’s reflectivity and the current conditions. The maximum rated distance is what most manufactures put on the box and is figured in ideal conditions on a reflective object. On deer sized animals, you will be lucky to get 75% of the maximum range and less than ideal conditions will drop the effective range even more. This discrepancy is less with the more expensive models and greater with the less expensive models.

So, if you are an avid bow hunter but do not yet own a laser rangefinder, then I challenge you to take my little test mentioned above and, I believe that if you will do so, you will find that you too can greatly benefit from owning a laser rangefinder. In addition, while there are numerous different makes and models of laser rangefinders on the market today, you should definitely take the time to search out the few models that are specifically designed for archers since they incorporate features such as "Clearshot" by Bushnell that are clearly designed to enhance the units usefulness to bow hunters.

Laser Rangefinders use an invisible, narrow laser that is pointed at an object to determine the distance it is from the user. The laser beam is then reflected off that object and back to the laser rangefinder instrument. The rangefinder then uses a super high speed clock to determine the amount of time it took for the laser to bounce back and then uses a mathematical equation to calculate the amount of distance between the rangefinder and the target object. The whole process is called "Time of Flight" in scientific terms.

Now as to Brands, in my opinion the brand you choose is often a matter of your own perception of that brand. Some brands may indeed be better than other however the technology is almost always the same. That said, some brands, even though they are using the same technology may have better control over manufacturing or may be using higher quality components. So you will need to do some research to find out which brands you feel comfortable with. But do not get yourself tied up with having to have a certain brand, you may save money or even get a better rangefinder with a brand you never heard of, remember even the big boys had to start somewhere.

Quality and price have a direct relationship with each other when dealing with any sort of optics. Laser rangefinders are no different with price going up with increases in quality. There is also a noticeable difference between the low quality and high quality, and with laser rangefinders you definitely get what you pay for. That is why it is important to buy the best laser rangefinder that you can afford so there are no regrets.
